At Pepper Sky's we skip the artificial ingredients — no MSG, ever. Every dish is made to order, so small changes are easy: extra tofu, no onions, less salt.
Pad Thai and the fried rices need a little oil in the wok, but most of our pan-fried dishes can be made with none at all. Just tell us when you order.

Pepper Sky's a great restaurant with continued great quality over many years. We've had their noodles (special shout out for the spicy pad Thai), fried rices, and curries, and everything we've had has been delicious.
Solid, no-nonsense lunch spot. I needed a quick bite during my lunch break and decided to give this place a try. I am glad I did.The chicken Pad Thai lunch special was excellent, piping hot, and came out in less than ten minutes. The portions are very generous for the price. It is hard to find a fresh, flavorful meal for under cheap these days, but this place nails it. The staff is efficient, and the restaurant is clean.I will definitely add this into my weekly lunch rotation. Highly recommended if you want great, authentic Thai food that will not break the bank or make you late getting back to the office.
My son and I stopped in for a bite since we'd been eyeing them for months. No disappointment for our anticipation!! The curry mango chicken was a bowl fit for royalty and served with the same flair. The curry spices were perfectly 👌🏾 balanced with the sweet and kind heat of the chili peppers. Best was the wings of Teriyaki. They may as well been the wings 🪽 of Paradise. My sons are wing connoisseurs. Too bad the other one missed THIS because they were showstopping!! So juicy, they should be drank through a straw! But we'll be back and warned them so!😋😋😆😆😁
Pepper Sky’s was a great dinner spot tonight. I had the massaman curry with shrimp, and it was excellent. They let you choose your heat level on a scale from 1 to 4, with 4 being the hottest. I ordered a 3, and as someone from Texas, I found it to be a really pleasant balance of heat and flavor. The service was quick and attentive throughout the meal. The space is on the smaller side, but tables turn over fairly quickly, and it never felt cramped or overly loud. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, and I would definitely come back.
The Pad See-Ew was so. delicious. Perfectly sweet without being overwhelming, and the chicken was perfectly cooked and so tender. The Thai Iced Tea was also yummy and not too sweet. The servers were kind and quick. I asked them to put my Thai Iced Tea in a to-go cup, and they were happy to do so! One person was a 10-min wait, which was fast considering I caught the beginning of the dinner rush.
